ReplyDeleteI am sure that visiting temples and pagodas to pay your respect to Buddha is one of the must-do activities in your one week in Burma. There are some tips for you to have the best temples trip in Burma. Firstly, you shouldn’t wear shorts or short dress or “sexy” clothes when you come here, because you may not be permitted to enter the temple’s area. You should bring along some low-value notes for the donation at the temples, besides bringing some candy and wrapped cakes are fine. When you give money or gifts to other in Myanmar, you should do it by your right hand, because according to the locals, using the right-hand shows your respect to the others, you left hand only use in your personal activities.
